Truck accident forces long delays for drivers
Traffic is finally getting back to normal near Goshen tonight (Monday).
An early morning rollover accident caused a back up in the northbound lanes for two miles.
The driver of a semi says he has no idea what caused him to lose control earlier this morning. The accident happened around five thirty this morning at milepost 188, traffic was snarled into late afternoon, as crews worked to get the truck off its side.
A spokesperson with the oregon department of transportation says this is a really bad spot for an accident to happen. “This is a really bad choke point a real inconvenient place to have a crash, because we can see what it does to traffic,” says Joe Harwood with the Oregon Department of Transportation.
The truck was carrying hazardous material, so a haz-mat crew was called in to get everything cleaned up. Just after two this afternoon the trailer was tipped back up onto its wheels.
